Flyway Creative Participatory
Over the period of 5 months, Artlink Central worked with 35 Chinese students studying at the University of Stirling to meaningfully engage them in 'Creative Wellbeing' activities.
Opening up about mental health can be daunting, with many people experiencing stigma around this subject. Creative activities and tools can help people to communicate their own feelings and ideas in a way that feels comfortable, as well as to start difficult conversations within a group or with others. Sometimes an image or a movement can spark a shared sense of understanding when words perhaps cannot.
A monthly event offered participants a supportive and collaborative space to learn about 'wellbeing' and anti-stigma surrounding mental health. A range of creative activities were introduced to the participants to express themselves, such as cooking together, self-portrait watercolour painting and dancing.
